"Harvesting Happiness: Tales from the Farm"

Whether it's the sound of a rooster crowing at dawn or the sight of a newborn calf taking its first steps, life on a farm is full of moments that remind us of the wonder and magic of the natural world.

Recently I had the chance to visit a farm ,which this was not my first time but no matter how many times I get to visit a farm I will always be excited and thrilled. I love animals and country life, the family that I visited was very kind they showed me the place around, the animals and gave me information about their business.

Since during the week I am in Prishtina, the only time I could visit the farm was at the weekend, unfortunately that day it was raining but however I didn’t let that stop me and I went and visited the farm. On a rainy day at the farm the usual hustle and bustle of daily activities were replaced by a sense of calm and peacefulness.The animals huddled together in their shelters, seeking refuge from the wet weather, while the fields lay dormant and quiet, waiting for the sun to return. I love animals, and I got lucky to see a lot of different kinds of them. When I was around those animals, I felt a sense of calm and comfort, as if all my worries and anxieties were left behind. The unconditional love and companionship that animals offer is truly priceless, and their presence in our lives can bring us immense joy and happiness. At the same time, that day I also felt a sense of responsibility to care for and protect these creatures, ensuring that they are treated with the dignity and respect that they deserve. Animals have a way of teaching us important lessons about life, such as the value of patience, kindness, and empathy.

You may think that visiting a farm is not that big of a deal, but when you get to see how differently the lives of the people that live there are, you will be in a way mesmerized and astonished because they have a completely different life from yours, the farmers taught me about the challenges they face, such as unpredictable weather patterns and rising costs, but also about the joys of seeing a crop grow and a new animal being born. Through it all, I was struck by their resilience and their unwavering dedication to their craft.

Visiting a farm allowed me to not only experience the natural beauty of the land, but also to connect with the hardworking farmers who make it all possible. Their lives are a testament to the importance of hard work, perseverance, and a deep love for the land and its creatures.
